The Sweetest Harsh
Episode-8 Return to Work

Early morning approaching dawn ....

The cold air around felt so piercing, stroking Tiara's cheek until it made him move his body, even though his body felt warm. The sound of water rustling outside broke his sleep. His eyes crept and only then did he realize that he had been asleep for so long since last night. Bed cover covered up to half of his cheek, just deserved he felt really warm. As he turned his head to the left, Alfa's sleeping face was clearly plastered there with a sloping position facing towards him, almost touching her face with her hands and feet wrapped around her sleeping body on her back, and she was still sleeping, under the same blanket.

“Why did you sleep so nosy once?” Whispers raspy. Tighten her embrace.

“Eh .. Have you woken up? Iyeakah? What's my sleep-"

“I could barely sleep all night because you kept moving," before Tiara could finish her sentence.

Tiara would just ask, does that make her uncomfortable? seeing Alfa seemed to also fall asleep soundly beside her with eyes that look red when it was slightly open earlier.

“Then go to sleep again .. I have to start working today right? I will wake up first to prepare breakfast and clean the house.” Tiara's voice sounds so far from Alfa's ears. The woman was sitting, tucking her hair and pushing a roll into Alpha's arms in exchange for her.

“Make me sleep well first darling ...” Alfa clutched Tiara's hand but still with her eyes closed. “You must take responsibility, I must sleep soundly for a while so that my head does not hurt.”

Tiara sighed, understanding the implied meaning her husband had thrown out and smiled.

Half-lying on his side with a pillow, he finally approached Alpha and began stroking the man's head, luring him. Alfa kicked the bolster and blanket, did a short stretch and hurriedly hugged the woman from the side.

And ... The hot morning is irresistible. Flowing the tinge of love and passion that ripples between the two.

Alfa stood at the door leading to Tiara's departure. The woman refused when Alfa made an offer to drive her to her car. Tiara had even put on a helmet and sat on his bike ready to plug the gas.

“The medicine has been brought?” Reminds me of the drug from Doctor Jeni that there are still a few grains left to drink.

“Iya. Later I will not forget to drink it.” Tiara smiled, got back down from the bike and walked straight towards Alfa standing up.

Muahs. One kiss on the right cheek. “Depart yes.” Tiara waved her hands and then turned around again riding the motorbike. Alfa smiled warmly and waved her hand.

“Cautious.”

Tiara simply gave a thumbs up in response, then drove her motor out of the gate she had opened.

With a heavy heart he let his wife work again after a long conversation last night with Tiara who kept whining spoiled for her to be allowed back in office. His mind was calm now. Tiara had recovered, but she could not sleep well because she was still thinking about her state, not because Tiara kept bothering her while sleeping. Unknowingly, Alfa smiled to herself remembering the timid Tiara when she teased him.

The man deliberately chose to buy a house in this area given its location close to where Tiara worked. Anticipate if Tiara wants to work again. At the very least, his wife did not have to travel for so long when she set out on her own. And precise. Tiara was very determined to work and did not want to be delivered.

Working as one of the Managers in his own father's company makes Tiara not big-headed with nepotism, as the father's treatment with his son is mostly. He chose the path from below. Start everything from zero, apply according to his qualifications and work hard. The leadership of the company was taken over by his uncle because Nicholas, his father who was very eager to make Tiara the sole heir, was defeated by the stubborn nature of Tiara who rejected him firmly. Women prefer to mingle with their peers rather than working behind closed doors as a boss.

And, here comes Tiara now. He was obscuring his presence in the lobby while conversing with other officials who looked welcoming as soon as he arrived.

"Hai Tiara .. wow, have you left today? Why is it so rushed to work?"

Roni, one of the Directors who also just entered the lobby, also connected the chat of female employees who were crowded, but focused on Tiara of course.

"I'm not in a hurry, just a little more excited and missed friends." Nodding respectfully and smiling.

"Ah, you are always excited at work. All right, see you, a lot of work awaits you," he said as he walked away.

"good. Thank you." Thank you." Tiara also withdrew from the lobby room, walking towards her room which was not far from where she was standing at this time.

The woman placed the bag, arranged the papers on the table and put them in the desk locker. Prepare to start a new day.

"Tiara, come with me. There's some new products you should look at."

"Good."

Tiara raised her gaze and immediately stood up then followed the footsteps of the staff who had first walked in front of her.

Sitting on a folding staircase that is now being enforced in front of the fence of his house, Alfa installed a neon box with the words Gheo's Photograph with a bright orange light. The man plans to expand his business on his own behalf as a photographer, in addition to working under the Blueict Company which has been embracing him for more than 10 years.

Satisfied with his own efforts, because he thinks working according to passion is more fun and makes his life more alive. Just like Tiara, his father Yunus is a CEO of a company engaged in camera production. Surprisingly, Alfa even likes to use the camera to work as a photographer rather than using the camera as a business for buying and selling as her father did. The man refused to work for the company and chose his own path. Now he has prepared the back room as a photo studio that has been decorated in such a way and shows off the face of Tiara in the form of his paintings as the only striking decoration there.

The name Dony on his phone. He stuck it to his ear and downed the cold water he drank from the bottle. Crossing the thirst until the dryness in his entire throat because of the activity.

"Hello Don, are we going to be a team meeting?"

"Yes. Davian and the rest of the friends have everything set up."

"What?" Alpha squealed in surprise because usually each of them had to bring the required materials, especially would continue to force himself, as he belonged to the seniors.

Dony laughed across the street.

"Yes. The ingredients are ready. You're leaving. Don't be late." Dony disconnected first.

Alfa clicked and put her phone away on the table, set her foot on a sledge and threw herself on the bed. He should sleep. Drowsiness because last night could not sleep well and tired all day because it has been working alone cleaning the house makes it limp amazing. Hugging her bolsters tightly like she was hugging Tiara alone, hoping to meet her wife in a dream that would make her happy.
